Duckling Thread!

Where did your babies come from?

A local farm supply store chain called Coastal Farm and Ranch; they’re from a tub of “mixed ducklings.” They’re all of 1 specific breed, but they don’t tell you which is which. It lists a few breeds “and many more.”

They are all so cute but maybe the experts can tell better tomorrow. We can never get enough pics

I’ve had Pekin and Buff before, and I’m 99% sure they aren’t either of those breeds. I’ve only raised 1 fawn and white runner from duckling stage, and 2 of them look kind of like that to me (Delta and Echo). Charlie and Blue are complete mysteries to me.

I only wanted 3 ducklings. There were 4 left, and I didn’t have the heart to leave a lone duckling (Charlie), so I bought all 4.

Echo and Dell could be layer 300’s. The multi stripe one has me really confused

We have 4 mystery ducklings. They’re named after the velociraptors in Jurrassic Park. Delta is significantly smaller than everyone else. Blue definitely has stripes around the eye.

If anyone can hazard a guess what they are, I’d love to hear it.

My poor bathtub; the high iron Well water is horrible on the white tub. Fortunately, I finally found something that removed the iron stains after 3 years of searching!

Charlie is a Welsh Harlequin and Blue is probably a Saxony. Post pics when they start to feather out.
